<h2>Moving, Copying, and Renaming a JavaFX Project</h2>
<p> <small><a href="#seealso">See Also</a>&nbsp; </small> 
<p>When you create a project, the IDE bases much of its project metadata on the 
  name and location of the project. These values are used in the project build 
  scripts, the project properties, and the names and locations of the project 
  folders. In order to safely move, copy, and rename a project, you must use the 
  commands provided by the IDE. 
<p><b>To move, copy, or rename a project:</b> 
<ul>
  <li>Right-click the project's node in the Projects window and choose one of 
    the following commands: 
    <ul>
      <li>Rename</li>
      <li>Move</li>
      <li>Copy</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>
<p><b>Notes:</b> 
<ul>
  <li>When moving or copying a project to a new location, the new folder must 
    already exist on the computer. You can create the folder with the Browse button.</li>
  <li>Moving and renaming a project can break compilation dependencies between 
    projects. To fix the project dependencies, remove the renamed or moved project 
    from the classpath of any other projects, then add the project again.</li>
</ul>
